The title is maybe Shanghai, but the movie was actually essentially filmed in Bangkok, Thailand. The Chinese government refused its authorization to the production team, so, they moved to the South-East-Asian country where there are cheap and modern studios thanks to a booming local cinema industry.

John Cusack went to Asia for Shanghai, an upcoming period movie directed by Mikael Hafstrom.

And back from Asia the guy is rather quiet … Is he under the soothing influence of Confucianism or is he just blase? Check below you’ll see by yourself:

They could have made an effort for this promotional event… They don’t really sale the movie… I suppose John Cusack is better on screen than in real life…
